    That is why I haven't picked mine up yet, if somehow Honduras or Canada (no offense, but not a fan) make the final, I'd have to go in order not to waste tickets.

    Canada I could take. But if I had to watch Costa Rica vs Mexico or some other non sense. I will be seriously angry about my $80 or whatever it is.

    Haha, I'm the opposite, I'd attend a Mexico vs. Costa Rica anytime. Have you bought your GC Final tickets or are you waiting?

    Re: Gold Cup Final

    I bought mine already, since I have to fly half way across the country, I don't feel like getting there and finding out its sold out. I'd just have a cheering interest if it was Canada. Otherwise I'll probably pick the country I hate the least.

    Good idea, if the final is US vs. Mexico, it will sellout. Mexico vs. Paraguay in Oakland later this month sold out about 3 weeks ago.

    Re: Gold Cup Final

    My guess is it sells out no matter what. I mean, maybe, if both Mexico and the US lose to Jamaica and Guadeloupe in the semifinals, maybe...

    Maybe, but I see a lot of empty seats if the final doesn't have Mexico or the US involved. Even when the media played up the US / Iran game at the Rose Bowl a few years back there were many empty seats, we'll see how this one goes.

    Re: Gold Cup Final

    Is there a hotel near the Rose Bowl that people would recommend, under $125/night? I think Nevada Eagle mentioned he'd already made a reservation.

    Just bought mine a couple of minutes ago. Not far from you:

    23A, row 22, seat 15

    See you there.

    Re: Gold Cup Final

    Priceline.com is your friend.

    I haven't paid more than $70 for a 3 star hotel for my entire gold cup trip. (Houston, Detroit, DC etc) Although in some cases I took options further from the stadium than some might be interested in.

    If you start now, put in $50, and each day add $10, in a couple days you'll be guaranteed a decent room at less than you $125 mark. Just a tip.

    Trips on expense are my friend. ;)

    I'm working on a project in the LA area through that time, so my tab is covered if I keep it below a buck and a quarter. Still, would like to be near wherever the drinking will be. I assume AO will have a hotel discount at some point, but would like to reserve one in advance just in case. Also, not terribly familiar with the Pasadena area.

    Re: Gold Cup Final

    Most of the hotels seem to be in down town Pasadena, about two miles from the Rose Bowl. I don't think they are cheap though. Listed prices I see are $140 to $200.

    That's cool you are going to follow the US through their Gold Cup games! If I go, I'll probably just make the final, and make a weekend out of it in SoCal.

    Are you catching the rest of the playoffs or just the final?

    Re: Gold Cup Final

    I don't have the wallet or I would fly! Plus getting around cities such as Detroit, Kansas City and Tampa seems to be much easier and cheaper by car.

    yeah, driving is certainly a good way to get around. i just cant take the whole week off from work so im doing more strategic strikes in and out of cities....

    Driving is cool, cause you will get to see some of the cities in between.
